Abstract

This report presents a multi-site observational dataset documenting continuous surface geometry across lithic and earth systems. Measured crest–trough wavelength (λ) and amplitude (α) demonstrate a consistent proportional relationship (λ:α ≈ 5:1) across micro, meso, and macro scales. A controlled histogram derived from previously published datasets confirms clustering of λ:α values around ~5:1 with limited dispersion and no independent scaling of λ or α. Additional site entries (Brutkamp, Las Piedrotas, Pansaimol, Dwarfie Stane, Dolmen de Bagneux, Serpent Mound) demonstrate: – continuous surface behaviour – directional organisation (0°, ~30°, ~45° where present) – node-based compression and redistribution – continuity across joints, materials, curvature, and scale No geometric reset is observed. All results are based on direct observation and measurement. This work extends prior published studies on lithic surface geometry, wavelength behaviour, proportional scaling, and histogram distribution within a unified cross-scale framework.
